This Used to Be a Military Base? #BestoftheWorld · National Geographic
National Geographic was awestruck by the juxtaposition of Governors Island's deep historical layers and natural beauty against the massive backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. The creator described the experience as a beautiful, messy symphony that felt entirely distinct from the typical atmosphere of New York City.
